Escaped Buffalo Killed

By Margaret Lyons in News on Aug 18, 2008 3:02PM

Four buffalo were shot and killed on I-55 in Braidwood this morning after they escaped from their farm. The hulking beasts were apparently running back and forth across the highway, and their owners shot them. You know, if Oregon Trail has taught us anything, it's that if you kill all the buffalo now, there won't be anything to eat later. Thanks, Braidwood. [AP]
